Ecuador lies in South America, bordered by Columbia to the north and Peru to the south and east. Its name is taken from the equator, which runs through the country. Ecuador is best known for its ecological diversity, boasting snow-capped volcanoes, lush rainforests and long stretches of golden coastline, yet there is much more to be found here. Take for example the local nightlife that begins as the sun sets and carries on until it rises the next morning or the colourful markets that stand testament to the skill of local craftsmen.
TEFL
salaries are not high
in Ecuador, but neither
are living costs. This
is a destination for travellers
who want to enjoy themselves
and thoroughly immerse
themselves in the local
culture, rather than those
wishing to save money.
Business English teachers
are in the highest demand
but there are also various
positions available teaching
university students. The
majority of teaching positions
are found in Quito but
determined teachers should
be able to find work in
other locations as well.
